We don't make a lot on the inserts compared with the ads that appear within the paper. Almost never do we print them, we just deliver, and more cheaply than the Post Office. We do it only because a little revenue is better than no revenue. For a long time The New York Times refused to do inserts, but I see now there are a few.

I know, but I hate shoe shopping. I'll buy 3 pair try them on and return 2. Free shipping, print the label and send it back in the box it came in. And if you know what siz you wear in certain brands, like Timberland and Johnston and Murphy, it's great.

I don't know if that's the case with Timberland and J&M, but many shoemakers, such as Allen-Edmonds and Alden, use a handful of lasts when making the shoes, so the fit will vary from model to model. I can take a B width on some Allen-Edmonds and a D on others.

bud, if you want an IPOD, you go to cnet, read the reviews, and buy one.

only because i got a few gift cards did i end up at best buy. got a nice camera on the cheap. but im done with those stores. big flat screen coming next year, and i'll def be buying offline.

I wasn't reading an ad to "review" the nuances and intricacies of an iPod. I was reading them to compare prices.

If you don't have size 15 feet, like I do, that might be the way to buy shoes - especially if you buy from the same company every time and they fit the same, every time. But I was looking for shoes, on sale, in stores in my city.
